How to Ruin Even the Best Suits:A Look at Personal Grooming

So, you have finally acquired the perfect selection of men's suits to
assist you in making that a winning first impression on your clients,
peers, and bosses. They are made from the finest fabrics and are crisp
and clean. You are ready to do business, right? Well, maybe.
The
truth is, no matter what your suits look like, how expensive they are,
or how well they frame your body, you won't be able to capture the
respect of anyone if you do not keep up with your personal grooming.
Unsightly and unkempt hair can make or break the look you are trying to
create, regardless of your choice of suit.

Personal Grooming and Your Tailored Suits
Many
men consider the art of personal grooming to be taboo. It should not be
something that is discussed or even thought about because doing so will
somehow endanger their masculinity. However, even though you may be one
of those manly men, personal grooming is an essential part of creating
the image you want in the corporate world.Facial Hair
Taking
care of and maintaining facial hair should be the first order of duty,
of every man's daily routine. When shaving, here are a few guidelines
you should follow:

Shave after you shower. This will allow the water and steam of the
shower to soften your hair follicles and will also give you a chance to
scrub the dirt and grime off of your face before you shave.

Shave with the grain of the hair. This usually means you will be
shaving downward. Shaving against the grain can lead to ingrown hairs,
cuts, and razor bumps.

Rinse often and use short strokes.

Avoid using aftershave if it contains alcohol or drying agents.
These can cause your face to become too dry and will make you appear
older than you actually are.

If you love having a
beard, moustache or sideburns, you are not alone. This kind of facial
hair is not necessarily bad, as long as you follow a few simple rules.

If you are younger than fifty, don't think you can get away with a
Tom Selleck moustache. Trim it down. Okay, even if you are over fifty,
it's really not in style anymore.

Even a full beard needs taken care of. Make sure to keep it trimmed and washed.

Sideburns look great on some individuals. On others, they don't.
Make sure you are not in the second category if you wish to pull off
this look.

Although you may not want to consider it,
plucking and tweezing are an essential part of maintaining facial hair,
especially when it comes to the eyebrows. Make sure to pluck or tweeze
your eyebrows regularly to avoid stray hairs and the dreaded uni-brow.Other Grooming Tips to Look Polished in Your Custom Made Suits
Here are some other tips on personal grooming:

Maintain a freshly cut hair style.

Completely bald is sometimes a better alternative than trying to give the illusion of hair with a comb-over or toupee.
